To those ticked off at the Allstate ads: Certainly they show chaos, accidents and mayhem because that’s the real world and that’s the reason why you need insurance.
I’m ticked off that Publix no longer has their chocolate mint cookies!
It’s no wonder so many Gen Zers drop f-bombs every other word.  Watch any R-rated movie in a theater or on a TV streaming service and you wonder how language-starved today’s lazy script writers must be, adding dozens … scores … even hundreds of f- and s-bombs because their vocabularies and storytelling skills are so unevolved, growing up pampered and undisciplined. It’s exhausting to hear ad nauseam.  No intelligent adult really talks like that.  No wonder so many 1960s-70s network TV series are so popular on MeTV, Tubi, Frndly and Pluto.
I’m ticked off at the Electric Daisy Carnival. I live five miles away and am annoyed by the obnoxious booming of what is supposed to be music. How loud does it have to be? And for multiple nights? Does the City of Orlando really need money so badly that they are willing to torture taxpayers?

The flip side

When I full body-smashed down hard on asphalt after tripping in a parking lot, I wasn’t sure how badly hurt I was. However, I felt confident that someone would come to my aid. I was right. A nice couple stopped to help me while I called my husband and they made sure I was going to be OK. I fractured a rib, but I am grateful to be living where people help each other. And I thank that nice couple for their help.
Thank you to my neighbor for watering my potted plants and feeding my cat when we are gone on vacation.
